Goblin Time

Halloween is no longer a single day event, I've noticed.  With school parades and ward trunk-or-treats, weekend city parties, and weeknight Main Street costume walks, the event has become almost a month-long precursor to the two-month long holiday times. 
That makes for some fun opportunities to get photos of children and grandchildren (especially grandchildren) in costume.   I love that none of them are into the scary things yet.   (At least I don't think they are.  I haven't seen any photos from Sean's family yet.) 

Here are some of the pictures from local activities:

  L-R Lexi Tiger, Mike Nerd 1, Maddy Pink Ladybug, Jack in the Box, Makinzee Nerd 2, and Lilly Meow

Mike and Makinzee hosted their own neighborhood "Adult" party on Saturday night, Oct. 29.  That was our ward Trunk-or-Treat night so they brought the three oldest down for us to take to our party while they went back (with Lilly) to their's.  They did let us get a photo of them in all their cute costumes before they left, though.

Always a favorite:  Leo's Candy Dish with the Wiggly Fingers!   L-R  Leo, Lexi, Jack, and Maddy

 Halloween, Oct. 31
The ghosts and goblins were out in number on this date, regardless of the fact that it was a school night in the middle of the week.  It was 74 degrees - the warmest Halloween on record - and the kiddos got to wear their costumes without a jacket even. 

I caught a little Mickey Mouse at Brian and Tonya's:

L-R - Tonya, Eric "Mickey", Brian

He was so fun.   Tonya had a wonderful monster costume for him which he decided about a week before the big day he did not like, would not wear!  She scrambled and came up with ears on line,  found some sweats and a turtleneck, whipped together the shorts, and painted black sneakers yellow.  He loved being Mickey Mouse!  (And I have to say, he made an adorable one!)

Lehi City hosts a Costume Walk every year so the kids can safely trick-or-treat the businesses downtown.   The city had just reopened Main Street a day or two before after having it closed to redo it for several months.  It was fun to see it and the kids enjoyed being part of the big parade.

Bill, Kamryn, Karsyn, Ashlyn (hiding behind Karsyn) and Stephanie.   Cruela DeVille is Leslie Hutchings.

Official Family Photo:   Stephanie, Butterfly Ashlyn, Goldfish Karsyn and Kamryn, and Officer Loveridge Bill.  Does the sign on the building:  Fish and Chips - fit the photo????  (Ok, I know Lehi Police are not part of the California Highway Patrol, but still....)

I did take a few other photos.  You can see them by clicking on this  Link to the rest of our "Goblin Time" photos
